I was there
Many people were growing out of Pokemon at the time, so if you were still playing them, it was kinda "uncool." Also pokemania was over.
Of course I still played them and so did my friends, we were just more covert about it and didn't play it out in the open at school.
Big complaints about Gen 3 were no trading with Gen 1&2 and no day/night cycle. Also no revisiting old regions like Kanto in GSC
There was a feeling that many beloved features of Gen 2 weren't present and it felt like a downgrade.
These are more "in the moment" complaints though. In hindsight going back from the present day, I love Gen 3 and a lot of the complaints were unwarranted. I originally had Sapphire and Emerald at the time. I got bored by the third gym in Emerald (already played through Sapphire) but recently decades later replayed Emerald and I now think it's the best game in the series. I would never think this back in the day.
